A key element in a team’s identity is what it wears. No major American sports league personifies that sentiment quite like the NFL does.

While all NFL players have much to represent inside on personal levels, on the outside, their uniforms are direct representations of the league's 32 franchises. Some of those uniforms are just ... better than others.

Here is the 2018 ranking of the all the uniforms in the NFL, from worst to first.

32​Washington Redskins

Sorry, Washington fans, but in addition to the team’s need for a new stadium, its uniforms, extensions of the controversial nickname, are in need of a change. The color scheme does not mesh well, making the uniforms an eyesore.

29​Miami Dolphins

28​Chicago Bears

Deion Sanders once said, “If you look good, you feel good … If you feel good, you play good.” That doesn't apply to the current Bears, who have finished last in their division in four consecutive seasons.

27​Indianapolis Colts

There isn't anything special here. The only difference in the home and away uniforms are the blue and white jerseys, with the same white helmet and pants in both sets — a plain look no matter where the Colts play.

19​Tampa Bay Buccaneers

18​Pittsburgh Steelers

The Steelers’ base uniforms are timeless, but those striped throwbacks are an eyesore when used. The font style of the new throwbacks that were unveiled in May make the Steelers look like the Iowa Hawkeyes, who copied the style years ago.

16​Kansas City Chiefs

15​San Francisco 49ers

The tradition that comes with these threads makes them iconic, but maybe it’s time for some tweaks. The black alternate jerseys don't cut it. On the other hand, the throwbacks the 49ers plan to wear this season are pretty sweet.

14​Carolina Panthers

The Panthers pull off a look that’s uniquely Carolinian with a logo that roughly represents the outline of North and South Carolina. The black and silver meshes well with the teal. It's been said that the Panthers' shade of blue is designed to meet in the middle between the school colors of Duke and North Carolina, but the team was not able to confirm the rumor as fact when asked by Sporting News.

12​Houston Texans

No team pays homage to its city and state quite like the Texans. Their logo is a bull shaped like a map of Texas, while the team’s colors are that of the state flag. It also helps to have players like J.J. Watt and Deshaun Watson to push the brand.

10​Atlanta Falcons

Every iteration of the Falcons’ uniforms has looked slick, and their current threads are no different. Atlanta fans have tough memories from the team’s Super Bowl 51 loss, but at least the Falcons looked good.

5​Philadelphia Eagles

Philly’s unique colorway, plus even more unique wings on the helmets, makes the Eagles one of the fiercest looking teams in the league. They get bonus points for breaking the six-year trend of teams losing in the Super Bowl while wearing non-white jerseys.

4​New York Giants

When you successfully preserve tradition with a modern twist, you get the Giants’ uniforms. New York has great ambassadors in Odell Beckham Jr. and Saquon Barkley to push the brand forward — don't be surprised if the duo gives the Giants two of the NFL's top 10 selling jerseys for as long as they're together.

3​New England Patriots

The Patriots have left a mark on the NFL through the Tom Brady-Bill Belichick era. Because they keep winning, their uniforms keep getting more exposure. The look should still be growing on viewers regardless of their feelings for the team.

1​Dallas Cowboys

Say what you will about the Cowboys, but what’s not to love about their uniforms? The star on the helmet is an iconic look that represents arguably the biggest sports brand in the world. The shades of blue and silver go hand-in-hand for a great overall look.
